Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Proficiency in foreign languages is a key skill for U.S. diplomats to advance U.S. interests overseas. In 2006, it was recommended that the U.S. Dept. of State (State) evaluate the effectiveness of its efforts to improve the language proficiency of its staff. State responded by providing examples of activities it believed addressed the recommendation. This report: (1) examined the extent to which State is meeting its foreign language requirements and the potential impact of any shortfall; (2) assessed State's efforts to meet its foreign language requirements and described the challenges it faces in doing so; and (3) assessed the extent to which State has a comprehensive strategy to determine and meet these requirements.

The Influence of the Foreign Service Institute on US Language Education
Author: Theresa UlrichPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000330575
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Through close analysis of primary source textual documents produced by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) between 1947 and 1968, this unique text reveals the undocumented influence of the FSI on K-12 language instruction and assessment in the United States. By investigating the historical development of the FSI and its attitudes and practices around language learning and bilingualism, this text provides in-depth insight into the changing value of bilingualism in the US, and highlights how the FSI’s practices around language instruction and assessment continue to influence language instruction in American public schools. By mapping the development and integration of language proficiency assessments which strongly resemble those used by the FSI, historical analysis uncovers key political and economic motivations for increased promotion of language instruction in the US education system. Providing insights into issues of language instruction and assessment in public education that persist today, this book will be particularly useful to researchers and students interested in how policy formation has shaped language instruction and assessment in US public schools.
